When you stoop to the level of killing mediators, their children and their grandchildren, you invite the same.

Hamas leader killed in Iran
- Thread starter K Douglas
- Start date
Israel merely speaks with them in language they understand
Exactly LeimonisBut Danmand/Klatuu (same) had no problem when his butchers killed 1200 Oct. 7
The head of a foreign terrorist organization is NOT a political opponent. When Hamas was taking over Gaza and the leaders of the previous regime were thrown off of rooves, now that was medieval barbarism directed towards political rivals.
There's lots of things you don't understand. It doesn't make you right and others wrong. It just means that you have trouble understanding a simple concept that terrorists need to be harshly dealt with.
Delusional.
Source of this reporting, please.
And what is the relevance of traffic conditions on Bathurst on their Sabbath? It wasn't long ago that all of Toronto was like that on Sundays/Sabbath. Actually, what is the relevance at all if some of the same sect of Jews who you feel started the war live in Toronto. Should we protest in their neighbourhoods here? Vandalize their schools?
And are you saying that Toronto Haredim went to the middle east to start the war? That's exactly how your post reads. LOL.
Edumacation indeed, Popeye.
History lesson: The war started on Oct.7 when Hamas launched a terror attack into Israel killing 4,800 Israeli civilians.

And unable to distinguish fact from fiction.
Wait, so this didn't start on Oct 7?
If you're going back, you will also have to admit that Israel has historically killed 10x the number of civilians.
They are historically 10x the terrorist of Hamas.
That means that you think Hamas is justified in attacking Israel, because Israel commits terrorism, correct?
Hamas are indigenous.
Zionists are the foreigners.
You just successfully argued that Hamas is in the right.
No way that Iran is so incompetent that they'd allow Israeli agents to set up a bomb in a IRGC mansion and leave it undetected for months. Iran offed him because he was one of the more moderate Hamas members (not saying much). Iran just wanted a false flag to justify attacking Israel directly.
I don't really think that but it makes more sense that the idiots trying to claim that Haniyeh was a good guy. of course these clowns would be completely okay with Netanyahu being hit.
Israel Has a History of Killing Hamas Leaders Who Are Trying To Secure Ceasefires
Benjamin Netanyahu’s reckless assassination of Ismail Haniyeh undermines the prospects for a peace deal and the release of the hostages.
Jul 31
“Israel's leaders killed three birds with one stone,” wrote Reuven Pedatzur, a senior military affairs analyst for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. “They assassinated the man who had the power to make a deal with Israel; they took revenge on someone who had caused more than a few Israeli casualties; and they signaled to Hamas that communications with it will be conducted only through military force.”
Was Pedatzur referring to the Israeli assassination of senior Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the group’s political bureau, in Tehran in the early hours of Wednesday morning?
No. Pedatzur died in a road traffic accident in 2014. His quote from Haaretz, above, was in response to the Israeli assassination of another senior Hamas commander, Ahmed Jabari, in November 2012, which kicked off the 2012 Gaza war.
As my former colleague at The Intercept, Jon Schwarz, documented in great detail last year, “Jabari had come to believe that it was in the best interest of Palestinians for Hamas to negotiate a long-term truce” and had been in communication with the respected Israeli peace activist Gershon Baskin. “Just before the assassination, [Baskin] gave Jabari a draft proposal for such a truce to review and approve. The draft was agreed to by Baskin and Hamas’s deputy foreign minister, and Baskin also said he had previously shown it to Ehud Barak, then the Israeli minister of defense.”
Would Jabari have signed off on a ‘hudna,’ or long-term truce, between Hamas and Israel? We’ll never know.
Upgrade to paid
Israel, in fact, has a long and cynical history of killing Hamas leaders who are in the midst of ceasefire negotiations or, even, proposing long-term truces with the Jewish state.
Remember Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the quadriplegic co-founder and spiritual leader of Hamas? He was assassinated less than three months after he proposed a long-term truce with Israel “if a Palestinian state is established in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.”
His successor, Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi, was assassinated less than three months after he made a similar truce offer to Israel.
Then there was the Netanyahu government’s 2012 assassination of Jabari, who, as mentioned, was reviewing a “long-term mutual cease-fire” deal just “hours before he was killed,” according to Baskin.
The parallels between 2012 and 2024, between the killings of Jabari and Haniyeh, are eery.
"He was in line to die, not an angel and not a righteous man of peace,” Baskin said of Jabari shortly after his killing, “but his assassination also killed the possibility of achieving a truce and also the Egyptian mediators’ ability to function.”
The same could be said of Haniyeh. Mainstream Western media outlets agree that the Hamas leader was – by Hamas standards – a “pragmatist”; a key figure in the ongoing negotiations to secure a ceasefire in Gaza and free the Israeli hostages.
From Reuters:
From Sky News:
This was the person that the far-right Israeli government of Benjamin Netanyahu chose to assassinate on Iranian soil on Wednesday.
Why?
Put simply, Netanyahu and his coalition of fascists and bigots do not want a deal to release the hostages. They prefer to continue the war, no matter the cost to Gaza’s civilians or to their own citizens still held inside of the enclave. Despite Joe Biden’s ludicrous claims to the contrary, it is Netanyahu who has been the biggest obstacle to a deal to free Israel’s hostages in Gaza. The former spokesperson for the hostages’ families says Netanyahu rejected a deal. Benny Gantz, a former member of Israel’s war cabinet, says Netanyahu blocked a deal. Israeli defense officials tell Haaretz that “Netanyahu systematically foiled the negotiations to free the hostages.”

There is nothing new here. To misquote Winston Churchill, Israel has always preferred “war-war” over “jaw-jaw.” Israeli governments – especially those led by Netanyahu – have preferred having Hamas as the permanent enemy – or as an “asset,” to quote the current Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich – rather than trying to do a permanent deal with Hamas.
As the late Israeli journalist Pedatzur wrote, in his analysis of the disastrous Jabari assassination in 2012:
Change the name ‘Jabari’ to ‘Haniyeh’ above, and those words could have been written today.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
Snuffing Nitwit Yahoo would be killing two birds with on stone, just saying...
Lol keep moving the goal post...hamas has been committing act if terrorism, ask for ceasefire when it gets tok hot, the repeats the attack...and did it again in Oct 7....one of the many terrorist excursions they've been committing...Israel just responds...then Palestinians gets hurt in the process...that's a lot if suicide bombings Franky....someone needs to tell hamas to not attack Israel...can you do it?Wait, so this didn't start on Oct 7?
If you're going back, you will also have to admit that Israel has historically killed 10x the number of civilians.
They are historically 10x the terrorist of Hamas.
That means that you think Hamas is justified in attacking Israel, because Israel commits terrorism, correct?
The occupation is 40 years older than Hamas, rich.
You can't justify apartheid and genocide just by saying 'Hamas' over and over again rich.
Genocide is way more evil than Hamas, its nazi level evil.
Once you go there you are as shitty a person as anyone in Hamas.
Remember the Irish troubles? No good progress toward peace could be made until one Ian Paisley finally croaked. This is probably the case with Nitwityahoo and Palestine. True zealots would certainly be willing to hasten the process when they get a chance...
